FUN FACT: Miss Lakusta’s favourite animal is a giraffe. All throughout the year, the students have created different giraffe creations for me or pointed out whenever they saw something interesting about a giraffe!
Yesterday I saw a clip of someone creating animals with their hands. I showed the clip to the students on Google Classroom and they picked the giraffe to create! Very cute!
Well we have officially completed our first day of online learning! In my opinion, I think the kids did great! There were a few difficulties with uploading but with practice, they will get better. I loved seeing some of their Create Something Great creations – very creative!
I posted a message for the kids earlier today, but I wanted to remind parents as well. I will be posting an activity to hand in each day as well as fun activities to keep them busy. Do not worry if home is busy or access to devices is limited. This is new for all of us and we will get the hang of it soon. I do not want families to be overwhelmed as I know there are multiple siblings in some or parents working from home. If there are any problems, don’t hesitate to send me a message on ClassDojo or an email.
Students had to read a text about Planet Nine and then create their very own planet using whatever they’d like. It could be drawn, using materials from home or completed online.
Today marks our first day of online learning! I am excited to see how the students take on this challenge – I know they’ll do great!
On Google Classroom, I posted a schedule I had in mind for the students and they all agreed with it. We will be sticking with some of the routines like spelling test, big maths and mental maths as I think these are important things that will continue to help.
Each day there will be an activity for the students to complete. They are nothing crazy and can even be done on a piece of paper and then a picture can be taken to hand in.
Children need to learn their spellings. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however they all know that they can decide how they would like to learn these words.
I would recommend they learn the list they have written in class on Monday, then on Tuesday, write a list of words and learn them, the same on Wednesday and then on Thursday they can choose a fun spelling activity of their choice
We have used many different activities in class and for homework over the last two terms, so children should be familiar with activities to use. If they are unsure, they can choose from this list:
Blue Vowels
Vowel Circle
Rainbow Write
Elkonin Boxes
Diacritical Marking
Or ask in class or use this website for additional ideas:
